May Books 21) Gilead
21) Gilead, by Marilynn Robinson
And so from a book about the writings of a clergyman's son to a book about a clergyman writing to his son. This is a lovely, understated novel about the distance between generations, family histories, the meaning of fatherhood, faith, and redemption, set in Iowa in 1956. Having a low-energy evening so will leave it there.
Top UnSuggestion for this book: Dragons of Winter Night by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.
